That's all very nice, but when you take a portrait of someone with a wide wide angle depth seems to be exaggerated. When you take the same pic with a teletele, it appears to be flattened.

When, theoretically, you can move enough backwards (beware when you're on the edge of a cliff!) you can cover the same view with that tele as with that wide angle. But it won't be the same shot.
You'll cover that same width and height, but the shot will be completely different.

There are no Borg. All resistance is fertile.
